360 Franklin Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11238

360 Franklin Avenue is a 4-story, 9-unit residential building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, built in 1930 and currently owned by Israel Pelmutter. The building has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water systems, particularly evident in late 2024 and throughout 2023 when multiple complaints were filed regarding inadequate heating and hot water across different units. While some of these complaints resulted in inspections that found no violations or confirmed restoration of services, several required re-filing due to access issues.

The building has also faced maintenance challenges, with violations documented in October 2023 related to heat, hot water, and safety systems in apartments 3L and 4R, including problems with smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and hot water supply. The property has a history of compliance and regulatory issues, including multiple open violations recorded in 2023 related to building access and heating systems. There have been several Department of Buildings (DOB) complaints between 2019 and 2021 concerning illegal conversions and occupancy issues, along with multiple ECB violations from 2019-2021 regarding failure to maintain proper safety systems and unauthorized modifications, particularly concerning an alleged illegal conversion of unit 1L.

Current active violations include non-compliance with inspection requirements and failure to file necessary documents, with associated penalties. The building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations since 2020, with no reported cases. However, rodent activity has been consistently documented between 2023 and 2025, with multiple inspections showing either rat activity or requiring bait applications, though recent inspections in 2024-2025 show improved compliance passing results.
